those trees
Those trees I saw in Maine. They aren’t like the ones here in New Hampshire near me. They are old and covered in grey crinkly lichens. And they have ancient dead limbs climbing horizontally up to the living green above. They beg to be drawn. To be painted. The lines, the spaces, the character. I […]
ying in the yang
When I came back from DC, I was sure I was ready to move on to the next phase in this evolution of my silk creations. But no. That was before I picked up my frames from the framer and started to finalize the pieces that went into them. And there I was, back in […]
indulge
It’s summer. You love red. You’ve always loved red. Why not? Lots of red. Only red. Like that one kind of jellybean you wanted most. Or one time of day you like best. Or only that one pillow that you prefer. One favorite cup you love to hold. That one thing. Make it everything. Make […]
time
In time, this peach will become ripe, I hope. Yum- yum. Do you know how good a peach right off the tree tastes? But, yes, I have to wait. It takes time. And this morning I was talking to Hunter about time. About non-linear time. You remember non-linear time, right? When you were a child. […]

Can you see the small “sumac” (bush) behind Otis? Freshly planted, near the lake, it’s our memoriam to a very special pup that was ready to leave his physical body. Loving to the end. Otis? He misses his dear friend. Rumi will never really leave our hearts, but he no longer needs to be in […]
summer grey
I tend to associate monochromatic landscape with the winter months. But, yes, summer has foggy, damp, grey days. And this one follows a day that could not have been clearer, more vibrant with color. Such a contrast. Samsun is here this weekend. He’s visiting with a wonderful group of writer friends. They all arrived late […]
out breath
AAAAAAhhhhh. Feel the nice cool water on your feet. Quiet lake. Monday in summer. Hunter and Lynn are here and life is good. They arrived yesterday in time to overlap with Samsun and friends and the talk was lively in the short overlap. So when someone asked the question, what do you do? and I […]
what happened?
This is my pup. Normally he is up and at it, bossing me around, insisting on whatever is next in his routine. But not lately. Lately, he’s like this. If he could talk, I might know more. Meantime, the vet took x-rays and suggested that his “knees” were so sore from torn ACLs over the […]
dragonflies
Anytime we stepped outside yesterday, Ariella and I were surrounded by dragonflies. Can you see them? There were thousands of them. Their specialty is eating mosquitos so we are only too happy to see so many. For them, we post a “like”. Or better, a “love”. See how handy I am(not)? I don’t even know […]
not knotweed
This is knotweed. Very small right now, very easy to break off from the knot, the root. From any tiny fragment, it can grow a new plant. These plants grow to – 6 -10 (more?) feet tall and its roots go as deep. Once it’s established, spreading in thick stands, it’s extremely difficult to eliminate. […]
